Marine Instruments has recently launched Dawn Sounding Detail, a new MSB+ software functionality that increases the sounding capacity by 10x during dawn for more accurate identification of tuna.
This update, already integrated into the MSB+ software used to integrate oceanographic information and management of the M3iGO satellite sonar buoy, represents a significant advancement in acoustic visualization for the skipper and fleets of tuna vessels.
This innovation is the result of Marine Instruments’ required identification and analysis process, as well as collaboration between tuna fishing professionals and Marine Instruments’ engineers and advisors.
This innovation significantly improves sounding capacity during dawn, a critical time of day in tuna fishing, enhancing tuna identification and showing clear movements better distinguishing tuna from zooplankton and bait.
This feature, installed on tropical tuna vessels, has received positive feedback from users, who consider it a highly useful tool for tuna fishing. Combined with the experience of the skippers, Dawn Sounding Detail leads to more efficient fishing, a result of Marine Instruments’ ongoing collaboration with the tuna industry.
The M3iGO satellite sonar buoy itself was designed and manufactured by Marine Instruments, and continues to evolve. In addition to Dawn Sounding Detail, the company has incorporated other updates into its buoy management software to make the software increasingly user-friendly and intuitive.
